introduction
The OpenGL interface consists of a set of commands that allow
applications to define and manipulate three-dimensional objects. The
commands include:
•
Geometric primitive definitions
•
Viewing operations
•
Lighting specifications
•
Primitive attributes
•
Pipeline control
•
Rasterization control
OpenGL has been implemented on a large number of vendor platforms
where the graphics hardware supports a wide range of capabilities (for
example, frame buffer only devices, fully accelerated devices, devices
without frame buffer, etc.).
For more information on OpenGL, refer to these documents, published by
Addison-Wesley and shipped with HP’s implementation of OpenGL:
•
OpenGL Programming Guide
Instruction on programming in OpenGL, offered in a tutorial format.
•
OpenGL Reference Manual
A reference that contains details on all standard OpenGL functions,
as well as utility (GLU) functions and X-windows (GLX) functions.
•
OpenGL Programming for the X Window System
Instructions on interfacing OpenGL with the X Window system.
